Data management plan
A data management plan (DMP) is required for all research projects. You should produce this at the start of the project and keep it under review throughout the project.
DMPonline has useful templates and guidance. Sign in with your University credentials to access Edge Hill guidance and obtain feedback on your plan. We will provide an Edge Hill DMP template and guidance in due course.
